How to enable the traffic from a node to a VS that it doesn't belong to?

We are experiencing a issue with application traffic from a pool member to access a virtual system. In the cenario where it happens has a dedicated VLAN to Virtual Systems and the box is directly connected to VLAN where the nodes are setup. Most of pool members that belong to a pool in a Virtual System have the F5 IP in the VLAN as its default gateway. When the node works with F5 as your default gateway, the node can not access any Virtual System on the F5 box even if we setup a SNAT. We tried to setup a VS Forward to solve this but it didn't work.

 

Does anyone know how to setup the F5 to enable this kind of IP traffic?

 

Best Regards,

    Hi Marcelo,

     

    Can you be more explicit please ? I do not understand your use case. You have members (servers) belonging a pool. These severs have BIGIP as a gateway. These members are part of a dedicated VLAN (can you ping the SelfIP ???).

     

    What is the scenario ? The member opens a connection to a virtual server ? What is the destination ?

    Hi Matthieu,

     

    It was a newbie issue in F5. We asked for help another guy and we discovered that we should have enabled all vlans on virtual server settings.

     

    Thanks for help and I'm sorry for this newbie question.
